I just wanted to quickly post here (I will add more in the near future)

I've recently been integrated in to the Whitecoin (XWC) team in the role of PR.

I'll hopefully be keeping things more up to date here in a more official manner than previously and look to address some of the underlying issues regarding our accessibility for people wanting to learn about and join our community as well as trying to keep the wider community more informed about what XWC is doing.

This platform focuses on being a social network dedicated to investors and traders. It could be a great opportunity to allow us to communicate more directly with the larger investment world in real time.

Feel free to check it out, join up and post whatever news you think is Whitecoin related.

Never tried WhiteOS, so I'm not sure what it was originally intended for.

Yes!

A new WhiteOS 2.0 is being worked on at the moment. More news about the progress and potential release date are soon to come.

The key intention is that you can have a specific portable OS where you can keep all your crypto currency wallets.

The great benefits of the idea are that firstly it's portable.. But far more importantly is that you're essentially creating a cold storage platform for all your wallets.

You're also getting a much greater level of security, you're not using your standard OS which if you're like most people probably has some form of malware on it (key loggers and more).

The current WhiteOS has TOR built in so you're always running with anonymity when using the OS, this is does not make your transactions on the block chain anonymous as everything still goes to the public ledger, but if you are concerned about outsiders or your network administrator seeing your activity then you're covered there too.

Also you will have a mostly complete copy of the blockchain with you where ever you go, so no need to spend potentially hours waiting for your wallets to sync.

This is exactly what I have been looking for in a while. Crypto needs a dedicated secured OS.

A lot of people are going to be looking for something where they can safely store their coins.

Will WhiteOS allow for staking coins? Many people will want to run their own staking box and if WhiteOS can pull it off, there's a huge market for it not just in software but also hardware for personal staking boxes.It's complicated to set up a Linux based box at the moment especially with compatibility issues with different wallets and not very mainstream friendly.And will you keep the software open or is it open already?

WhiteNode comes with an official Raspbian (stretch) customized image. This allows you to run the Whitecoin daemon out of the box with minimum efforts.This way users can help strengthen the network and make it easy for users to stake coins on an energy efficient device.The source compiling scripts are on our Github located here, this allowed users to create their own custom image if needed. Or for other developers to customize them for their own coin.

Unzip the image and install it to an SD card like any other Raspberry Pi image

Configure your WiFi by editing whitenode-wpa-supplicant.txt on the root of the flashed card when using it like a flash drive in windows.

Boot the Pi from the SD card

Log into your Pi via SSH (it is located at whitenode.local if your computer supports bonjour or the IP address assigned by your router), default username is "pi", default password is "raspberry", change the password using the passwd command and or in the raspi-config (sudo raspi-config).

Yes, WhiteOS in its current version allows for staking and the new release will support staking too!

It is and I believe will continue to be open, especially with the ethos in mind of being useful to any or all crypto currency users it will need to be.
